Radio Station Aids

Bob Pinkerton, owner of radio station XEO, Matamoros Mexico, himself a victim of polio, announced Wednesday that the station’s time table could be shuffled to accommodate any organizations desiring to aid the March of Dimes with programs.

Pinkerton was stricken three months ago, and remained 18 days at the Edinburg polio clinic. He also offered the station’s talent as an aid to any program.
